Tanween 2021 - Join me Oct 27 at Ithra in Dhahran

I’ll be out in the world ready to say hi and talk about productivity at Tanween 2021! I’m excited to let you in on the details of these sessions that will build the foundation for creative thinkers who happen to overthink 🎉

First week of Tanween 2021 kicks off with the Emerging Creatives track ✨

With eyes set on the future, final-year students, recent graduates or early careerists are invited to join us for a two-day series of events comprising panels, talks, showcases, pitch training, mentor sessions, networking opportunities, workshops and more to help launch into their passion and profession through preparation. Polish your personal brand, practice your pitch and build your network. The New Creatives program will give you the tools to get there.

My Talk: Thanks, Procrastination!

Putting things off gets a bad rap because only its outcomes are measured, not its potential or role. The approach most people take is ignoring their feelings and pushing through, powered by adrenaline and caffeine but only really working the very last minute before the deadline. Here’s Khayra Bundakji’s outlandish take on procrastination: What if it’s a signal you can learn from and create a plan that works for you, instead of you working for a plan?

My Workshop: The Personal Productivity Toolkit

Productivity lessons for creatives in the workplace - Adjusting to a different pace and type of work, which includes building an effective workflow, is a significant change for creatives to focus on. This workshop will tackle personal productivity and create a customized system for them to get things done. The 3-hour session aims to bridge the gap between ideation and execution for young creatives. It offers new and unique solutions to craft your own productivity-driven creative process, establishing a clear roadmap to be focused and balanced.

So ready to see you emerging creatives (or those you know) there!
